Anyone think this lyric is a bit dodgy?

"Neon-heart, dago-eyes"

I think OP may be right actually. Bono seems to have a thing for southern European eyes.

Well, sure, as seen in the hits Wop On and Some Dagos Are Better Than Others.

He was going to call the B side Spic Eyes but Larry talked him out of it.

Anyway, I like this song that Bill Clinton used in his Presidential campaign, from the much derided HTDAATB  album. From many people here anyway.

Billy Boy used Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop from the highly acclaimed Rumors album.  He reckoned he heard the song for the first time when it came on the radio while he was in a diner in Arkansas and he said to himself then that he would use the song in his future presidential campaign.
